Meaning & Inspiration
“Haleluyah Mdumiseni,” which means “Hallelujah, praise Him,” by Lebo Sekgobela is a Zulu worship song of surrender and praise. The first verse asks “Kekh’umhlobo onjengawe,” whether there is a friend like You, one who always cares for the singer, and then says everything has been placed in His hands. The second verse offers all that the singer has, “Nginikela konke okwami,” because God knows everything about the singer.
The chorus carries the recording, with “Hallelujah, mdumiseni, mbongeni njalo” calling the listener to praise and bless Him always. It names Him as “Jehovah ophilayo,” the living Jehovah, “kunaphakade,” forever. The repetition lets the congregation join in until the chorus becomes the whole song.
The themes are close to 1 Peter 5:7, which speaks of casting every care on God, Romans 12:1, which speaks of offering oneself to Him, and Psalm 135:1, which calls for praise of the LORD’s name.
